You have done a great job with blogging so far this year! The next assignment I've just posted is an optional blog for you. It will work as a forum to let your classmates know what your plans are for our fall break / Thanksgiving! I will be updating the blog every few days - even over break - so if you'd like to post about your family traditions, yummy foods, travel plans, fun activities, etc... FEEL FREE!

Many of you have started work on your biome book blog. Please make sure that you are including all of the requirements of the assignment in your post. I see some that only have 1 of the 3 requirements right now. Remember, I want to know: the name of your biome, DESCRIPTIONS of 3 organisms, and if you would want to visit there (why or why not).

Hi bloggers! I've been reading your posts for the Project Knowledge blog and I am very impressed! I can tell that many of you are seeing the value in communication and teamwork and how these are areas that really make a difference while working on a project. Keep up the great work AND keep these things in mind as we do future projects in 5th grade!

Hi Bloggers! I know some of you are still missing descriptions of your monster parts - you can check the main monster site to see if they have been updated. Remember to scroll down to see the description chart.

It's fun to see that many of you are playing with the appearance of your page - I've seen some very funny pictures get added - see if you can find them! I wanted to post a link to our hurricane tracking site:http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

I checked this morning and both Kirk and Leslie are on the move! I also noticed that Leslie is up to 70 mph - that is getting pretty close to 74 (Cat 1 hurricane status)!!! Let's keep tracking and see if Leslie makes it to full hurricane status over the Labor Day Weekend.
